DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0033] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0035] The currently used plunger has a large gap with the production string, and there is a significant accumulation of liquid slipping phenomenon in the lifting process of the accumulated liquid, which reduces the gas lifting effect. At the same time, the plunger has a high speed and a large impact force in the falling-back process, which often causes damage to the locking device, and frequent replacement of the locking device is required, which affects the production efficiency.

[0036] In view of this, the present invention provides a plunger for reducing the impact of the locking device when the liquid accumulates and slips back, comprising a central tube 100, a piston 200, an upper support plate 300, and a lower support plate 400; the central tube 100 has a buffer chamber a inside, and a vent hole b communicating with the buffer chamber a is opened on the side wall; the piston 200 is fitted onto the central tube 100 and slidably connected to the central tube 100; the lower support plate 400 is connected to the piston 200, and the upper support plate 300 is connected to the central tube 100; multiple upper support plates 300 and lower support plates 400 are evenly distributed in a ring around the central tube 100 and spaced apart; after the piston 200 moves upward, it opens the vent hole b and drives the lower support plate 400 to push the upper support plate 300, so that the upper support plate 300 moves away from the central tube 100; after the piston 200 moves downward, it closes the vent hole b and drives the lower support plate 400 to move the upper support plate 300 closer to the central tube 100.

[0037] The plunger provided by this invention, which reduces the impact on the locking device during liquid accumulation and slippage, is formed by an annularly distributed and spaced upper support plate 300 and lower support plate 400 forming a sealing ring. The upper support plate 300 in the sealing ring can be displaced radially along the sealing ring. When the plunger moves upward and requires improved sealing performance, the upper support plate 300 moves away from the center of the sealing ring to reduce the gap between the sealing ring and the inner wall of the production tubing, achieving optimal fit with the production tubing and reducing liquid accumulation and slippage during the lifting process. When the plunger moves downward, the piston 200 closes the vent hole b, and the buffer chamber a is filled with gas to reduce the relative density of the plunger and decrease the fall speed, thereby reducing the impact caused by the plunger's fall and reducing damage to the locking device.

[0038] At the same time, when the plunger moves down, the upper support plate 300 retracts, which can reduce the wear of the upper support plate 300 on the production tubing and improve the service life of the plunger.

[0039] In addition, as the piston 200 moves upward, the vent hole b is in the open state. At this time, some liquid can enter the buffer chamber a in the central tube 100, so that the plunger maintains its original density, avoids the plunger rising too fast and thus reduces the liquid carrying capacity, and ensures the lifting effect.

[0040] The following combination Figures 1-8 The structure and shape of the plunger used to reduce the impact of the locking device when the anti-liquid slippage and fall back as provided in this embodiment are described in detail:

[0041] In the optional solution provided in this embodiment, the plunger that reduces the impact on the locking device when the accumulated liquid slips and falls back also includes a connecting sleeve 500 and a one-way valve assembly 800. For example... Figure 1As shown, the one-way valve set 800 is sleeved on the central pipe 100 and connected with the central pipe 100, and the one-way valve set 800 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 500 and connected with the connecting sleeve 500; the connecting sleeve 500 is sleeved on the piston 200, and the connecting sleeve 500 is in contact with the upper supporting piece 300, and the contact surface is an inclined surface; when the upper supporting piece 300 moves upward relative to the connecting sleeve 500, the inclined surface contact makes the upper supporting piece 300 away from the central pipe 100 to shorten the distance from the inner wall of the production string, thereby reducing the sliding of the accumulated liquid.

[0042] In this embodiment, the one-way valve set 800 includes a valve seat 810, a valve core 820, a spring 830 and a support seat 840. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 As shown, the valve seat 810 is sleeved on the central pipe 100 and connected with the central pipe 100 in a threaded manner, and the valve seat 810 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 500 and connected with the connecting sleeve 500 in a threaded manner; the valve seat 810 is provided with an inflation hole f, the valve core 820 and the spring 830 are arranged in the inflation hole f, and the support seat 840 is inserted into the valve seat 810; one end of the spring 830 is connected with the support seat 840, and the other end is connected with the valve core 820, which is configured to apply a pushing force to the valve core 820 to block the inflation hole f, thereby realizing one-way sealing. Wherein, the valve core 820 is provided as a ball, the inflation hole f is provided as a stepped hole, and the support seat 840 is inserted into the inflation hole f and connected with the inflation hole f in a threaded manner.

[0043] In this embodiment, the piston 200 is inserted into the annular space surrounded by the central pipe 100 and the connecting sleeve 500, thereby forming an inflation cavity e with the central pipe 100, the connecting sleeve 500 and the one-way valve set 800. The inflation hole f is in communication with the inflation cavity e to communicate with the inflation cavity e. When the inflation cavity e is inflated, the air pressure pushes the valve core 820 to compress the spring 830, so that the inflation hole f is opened.

[0044] In this embodiment, the two upper supporting pieces 300 and the two lower supporting pieces 400 are arranged in a ring shape and are arranged at intervals, as shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the piston 200 has not moved up at this time, and the upper and lower ends of the plunger can be communicated through the gap between the upper supporting piece 300 and the inner wall of the production string and the gap between the two lower supporting pieces 400 at this time. When the plunger moves up, the piston 200 moves up relative to the central pipe 100 under the action of the bottom hole pressure and drives the lower supporting piece 400 to move up, as shown in Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown in Figure 4As shown, the lower supporting sheet 400 is provided with a flange 410, which abuts against the upper supporting sheet 300 to push the upper supporting sheet 300 upward, and then the upper supporting sheet 300 is moved away from the central pipe 100 under the action of the inclined surface of the connecting sleeve 500 to reduce the gap between the upper supporting sheet 300 and the inner wall of the production pipe string, thereby avoiding liquid slipping during the lifting process. In the embodiment, only the upper supporting sheet 300 moves in the radial direction of the central pipe 100 to ensure the sealing performance during the lifting process, reduce liquid slipping, and ensure a sufficient gap during the falling process to ensure normal falling.

[0045] In an optional solution of the embodiment, the plunger for reducing the impact of the clamping device during the anti-liquid-slipping falling process further comprises a limiting pin 600 and a linkage clasp 700. The limiting pin 600 is inserted into the upper supporting sheet 300 and connected with the connecting sleeve 500; the upper supporting sheet 300 is provided with a long hole c, and the limiting pin 600 is inserted into the long hole c and can slide along the long hole c, as shown. Figure 3 Specifically, the limiting pin 600 cooperates with the long hole c to limit the movement of the upper supporting sheet 300 in the radial direction of the central pipe 100, prevent the upper supporting sheet 300 from falling off, and avoid the circumferential movement of the upper supporting sheet 300, so that the upper supporting sheet 300 only moves in the radial and axial directions of the central pipe 100.

[0046] The linkage clasp 700 is sleeved on the connecting sleeve 500, and the upper supporting sheet 300 and the lower supporting sheet 400 are connected with the linkage clasp 700, as shown. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the upper supporting sheet 300 and the lower supporting sheet 400 are both provided with a linkage groove d, and the linkage clasp 700 is inserted into the linkage groove d and can move relative to the linkage groove d along the axial direction of the central pipe 100. The lower supporting sheet 400 can drive the upper supporting sheet 300 to move downward through the linkage clasp 700 to ensure that the upper supporting sheet 300 moves toward the central pipe 100, thereby avoiding the upper supporting sheet 300 from being stuck and failing to retract.

[0047] In an optional solution of the embodiment, in order to move the upper supporting sheet 300 toward the central pipe 100, a return spring can be provided, which is sleeved on the limiting pin 600, one end of which is connected with the limiting pin 600, and the other end of which is connected with the upper supporting sheet 300, so as to apply a pushing force to the upper supporting sheet 300 to press the connecting sleeve 500. Thus, while the lower supporting sheet 400 drives the upper supporting sheet 300 to move downward, the upper supporting sheet 300 moves toward the central pipe 100 under the pushing of the return spring.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the plunger that reduces the impact on the locking device when the anti-liquid slippage and fall back also includes a limiting ring 900, a pressure cap 1000, and a fixing pin 1100. The limiting ring 900 is fitted onto the central tube 100 and positioned between the one-way valve assembly 800 and the piston 200 to limit the upward movement distance of the piston 200; the pressure cap 1000 is inserted into the central tube 100 and threadedly connected to the central tube 100 to seal the buffer chamber a. The fixing pin 1100 is inserted into the lower support plate 400 and the piston 200 to fix the lower support plate 400 onto the piston 200.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the connection between the lower support plate 400 and the piston 200 can refer to that of the upper support plate 300. Instead of using the fixing pin 1100, a limiting pin 600 is used, and an elongated hole c is formed in the lower support plate 400. A corresponding inclined surface is provided on the connecting sleeve 500 to allow the lower support plate 400 to move away from the central tube 100 during its upward movement. During the plunger's retraction, the lower support plate 400 can also retract to reduce friction between the lower support plate 400 and the inner wall of the production tube, further improving the plunger's service life. Similarly, a return spring can be provided to apply a pushing force to the lower support plate 400, causing it to press against the connecting sleeve 500.

[0050] Based on the plunger provided in this embodiment that reduces the impact on the locking device when preventing liquid accumulation and slippage, a method for using the plunger that reduces the impact on the locking device when preventing liquid accumulation and slippage is proposed, including the following steps:

[0051] Preparation: Based on the height of the liquid column in the well and the bottom hole pressure, nitrogen gas at a certain pressure is injected into the air chamber e through the air filling hole f, causing piston 200 to close the air vent b. Simultaneously, the lower support plate 400 moves downwards to ensure the upper support plate 300 is in the retracted state. Figure 2 As shown, the plunger is then inserted into the wellbore locking position.

[0052] Lifting: When the well is shut in, the combined action of the accumulated fluid in the well and the bottom hole pressure pushes the piston 200 upward. During this upward movement, the piston 200 drives the lower support plate 400 to move as well. When the flange 410 on the lower support plate 400 contacts the upper support plate 300, it drives the upper support plate 300 to move along the inclined surface of the connecting sleeve 500. When the piston 200 reaches the limit ring 900, the piston 200 stops moving. At this point, the upper support plate 300 and the lower support plate 400 interlock and, together with the inclined surface of the connecting sleeve 500, form a seal against the accumulated fluid in the upper part of the well. Figure 1 As shown. When drainage is required, the well is opened. Under the pressure at the bottom of the well, the plunger moves upward, carrying the accumulated fluid to the wellhead for drainage, thereby enabling gas production. It should be noted that the vent b is located at the lower part of the buffer chamber a. When the plunger reaches the wellhead, the liquid in the buffer chamber a can be discharged through the vent b, while gas can enter the buffer chamber a.

[0053] Fall back: the plunger is behind the wellhead, due to the reduction of the liquid column pressure and the well pressure, the piston 200 is reset under the thrust of the gas in the inflation chamber e, and the lower support plate 400 is also moved down during the downward movement of the piston 200, and the linkage clasp 700 is moved down during the downward movement of the lower support plate 400, and the upper support plate 300 is moved down through the linkage clasp 700, thereby achieving the reset of the piston 200, the lower support plate 400 and the upper support plate 300, at this time the upper support plate 300 is close to the central tube 100, and the distance between the upper support plate 300 and the inner wall of the production string is increased, which is beneficial to reduce the wear of the upper support plate 300 and ensure the smooth fall back of the plunger. The piston 200 seals the vent hole b when it is reset, and a certain amount of gas is stored in the central tube 100, as shown, thereby reducing the relative density of the plunger and slowing down the fall back speed of the plunger, which is beneficial to reduce the impact of the plunger on the locking device. Figure 2

[0054] Finally, it should be pointed out that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.​
